Speaker request
• aga1n denied
Scheduling changes
for pre- registration
A request to invite attorney William Kunstler to
speak on campus has been denied, according to Rob­ert
C. Dickeson, vice-provost for student affairs.
Kunstler was the attorney for the Chicago f>even.
The request, made by Chris Cochr an, ASNAU
activities vice-president, was denied under provi­sions
of the Co<le of Conduct which went into effect
Feb. 1. The Code states that speaking rights shall be
denied to a per son if the proposed speech will "con­stitute
a clea.r and present reasonable apprehension
of imminent danger to the normal activities and the
essential purpose of the university."
Proposed topics Kunstler would have spoken on
was the Chicago Seven and perhaps the "new revol­ution,''
Cochran said.
University officials also turned down a previous
application in December for the attorney to speak
on campus, when it was determined that he did not
meet the standards of the speaker's policy as out­lined
in the NAU Student Handbook covering off­campus
speakers.
•rfrus Was not an easy decision to make," Dick­eson
said. ., spoke with several law enforcement
agencies and the information I received on
Kunstler did propose a clear and -present danger."
The story of NAU is an account of vigorous growth,
expansion and change.
One of the areas affected by these trends is pre­r
egistration, which has undergone a. major overhaul
by the University Cabinet. The remodeled pro­cedure
will be utilized for the Fall Semester.
Dr. M. D. Schroeder, dean of admissions and
records, explained the new look: "For pre­registration
advisement in early May the class
schedules will be listed without the names of the
course instructors. When the student returns in the
fall, he'll receive a final class schedule with the
faculty assignments included.
"We're doing this because for the past few years
the University has experienced at least a 20 per
cent change in faculty scheduling from the time of
pre-registration to !inal registration. This came
about from resignations and the consequent 'chain
reaction' in adjusting new people to meet the
schedule assignments.
"To the student, there'll be the disadvantage of
now lcnowing the name of the instructor at pre­registration,
but the !"Ul21 class schedule he gets in
the fall will accurately list all the instructor assign­ments.
The student can then rearrange his course
load prior to registration I! he desires," continued
Dr. Schroeder.
He emphasized that all courses listed in the pre­liminary
class schedule will be offered at the designat­ed
time and day in the fall. New courses and sec­tions
may be added, but not deleted.
"We think it's very important for a student to
have a choice of the course instructor," Dr.
Schroeder went on. "Under the system of compiling
a firm schedule in the spring, the student couldn't
always get his choice because of the many faculty
changes which occurred before the Fall Semester.
"Another advantage to the student under the new
system is that the most qualified people will be
placed in the teaching slots because there'll be
more time and nexibility in assigning the faculty
to the required program of study."
Will the new procedure affect participation in
pre-registration advisement? "I don't think so"
he replied. "We hope students will take advanta~
of pre-r ... gistration to meet with their advisor
and review their academic record in addition to
planning a course load from the semester."
One other development Dr. Schroeder feels will
result from adopting the new method is a big reduc­tion
in course drop-adds by students because they
can change their schedule before registering for
classes.
